Team SoloMid Spring 2013

The first ever season of the NA LCS. After establishing their status within the region during Seasons 1 & 2, Team SoloMid established their dominance once more, defeating Good Game University of the playoff finals to claim victory. The iconic roster featured a number of players who would go on to become TSM legends.

Team SoloMid Spring 2014

As Reginald stepped aside from the starting roster to adopt a managerial position, TSM ushered in the Bjergsen era. The young Dane impressed immediately, but the roster fell short of stealing back their crown, falling once more to the might of Cloud9.

Team SoloMid Spring 2015

The success continued in the Spring of 2015. With Santorin joining the team to replace Amazing, TSM emerged from an unpredictable split to see off Cloud9 once more with a 3-1 victory.

Team SoloMid Spring 2016

Keen to recover from a disastrous World Championship performance from the NA region, TSM acquired Doublelift from their CLG in addition to Svenskeren and Yell0wstaR from Europe. Whilst stacked with talent the roster experienced a difficult split, fortunate to reach the finals based on their form in the regular split. Counter Logic Gaming repeated their heroics of the summer, defeating TSM 3-2 to exact revenge for Doublelift's 'betrayal'.

Team SoloMid Spring 2017

With familiar face WildTurtle back on the roster, TSM were keen to prove their collective strength in Doublelift's absence. Face Cloud9 once more, Svenskeren became the first TSM Jungler to win consecutive split titles.

Team SoloMid Summer 2013

Unchanged from their Spring triumph, Team SoloMid reached the finals once more to face the emerging force of Cloud9. TSM were swept aside in the finals, outclassed 3-0 by the new kids on the block.

Team SoloMid Summer 2014

With further roster changes, Amazing and Lustboy joined the team to replace original LCS members Xpecial and TheOddOne. The swaps provided immediate success as Team SoloMid were crowned Summer Split champions with a 3-2 victory over C9.

Team SoloMid Summer 2015

Chasing a record third consecutive playoffs victory, Team SoloMid faced off against old rivals Counter Logic Gaming for the first time in a finals match. Dramatically, CLG claimed their first LCS title with a stunning 3-0 victory over TSM, perhaps the team's darkest hour.

Team SoloMid Summer 2016

In what is widely regarded as the strongest iteration of the Team SoloMid roster in history, TSM recovered from their Spring Split defeat in dramatic fashion. Narrowly missing out on an unbeaten split, with rookie Biofrost joining Doublelift in the bot lane, TSM marched to playoffs victory with a 3-1 series win over Cloud9 in the final.

Stunt – Probability: Moderate

With the recent announcement of Shady being named as the starting support for Phoenix1, Stunt should be high on the list of multiple NA teams looking for an upgrade at the support position. After a breakout rookie season, he has proven he has the potential to be a top tier support in NA. A return to his former organization in Team Liquid would be plausible, or a potential trade to Echo Fox.

Twelve NA Players Who Could Be On The Move

CLICKON examines twelve players who could be added, dropped, or traded in the time before the 2017 summer split.

Tombstoning

The winner of this year’s DHL Fastest lap award was Nico Rosberg, who picked up the lion-share with six fastest laps. closely following in second place was Daniel Ricciardo with four fastest laps.

The mindsets that claim the fastest laps:

Sometimes I think I could have got some better results if I had a different mentality; if I could have pushed hard and attacked. But then I would have had a good chance of making a mistake.

– Alain Prost

And so you touch this limit, something happens and you suddenly can go a little bit further. With your mind power, your determination, your instinct, and the experience as well, you can fly very high.

– Ayrton Senna

Many argue that this is one of Ayrton Senna’s greatest performances. The European Grand Prix took place at Donington Park in 1993, and Senna made his way up the from fifth on the grid, overtaking the cars ahead on the opening lap and beating Hill by over a minute. The Williams of 1993 were similarly as dominant as Mercedes in recent year’s, so the margin of victory that Senna in his McLaren built remains staggering.

I like to race, not to do laps alone.

– Fernando Alonso

You should never feel comfortable. There is something wrong if you are. You should always feel under threat, on the edge of your seat and pushing yourself. Win one and you want to win more. It’s never-ending.

– Damon Hill

There’s always a lot of talk about motivation to race, but nobody really knows what I do or what I think apart from myself, so I don’t really care what people think.
